I remember reading a blog post from the author of sioyek boasting about search performance.

Haven't personally compared the options but for me sumatra zathura and sioyek all feel fast enough to not notice any problems.

"Now I must admit, the reason sioyek is so fast is because it creates a search index when you open the document."

Ah, I had heard about Sioyek but I didn't know there was an option I could enable to build a search index. That is really nice.
